Looks like the website has been overwhelmed with spam, and, possibly hacked/exploited [1]. It looks like someone has been able to create directories & upload scripts [2]?

I do bug bounty in my spare time so this was an interesting live find.

I’m willing to give this a try if you can clean it up a bit. UX is rough on mobile. I also prefer subs to hashtags but whatever, I’m easy. I bailed on Reddit like 2yrs ago and there’s really no alternative that I can find except HN.

Scripts are permitted in html uploads (all content is iframed and served from a separate domain), though I will go through and remove blank directories for now.

I’ll likely add checks for an index.html for any upload and turn off indexing in the future to prevent these.

Please gzip-encode javascripts and css.

They are transmitted raw (also: not minified, but that'd be more acceptable if you gzipped them) and also they are returning Accept-Ranges header. That's IMO not a sensible default; they are not big resources supposed to be downloaded with retries - they are needed as a whole, in a fastest way possible. Gzipping them will shorten the page load - which is actually quite good already - congrats for that!

"A place for all content types - No matter what you make, Nonio is equipped to support it. With no advertisers, you aren’t at risk of having your content demonetized." How far are you willing to go to defend this? There's been lots of technical talk in this thread so far, but I'm curious on this portion. So far I'm LOVING the UI. I actually think you should drop the payment part ASAP and just push for more users in t…

Obviously I can’t defend “all content types” to the level that say, the darkweb can. I’ll still abide by the law. That said, I don’t have the pressure of ad networks to filter out content.

I still have pressures however. Using Stripe and credit cards for payment processing means I have to ensure the sites primary purpose isn’t adult content, as if that content dominates its very likely Stripe will choose to no longer do business with me. I can still support it, but it can’t be the primary purpose.

Also thank you for the kind words about the UI! Poured a lot of love into it, but I’ve got a lot of work to go for non-chrome browsers.

I just tried it and it could do with improvement. * How do I post a link. I just want to post a damn link. Images, audio, blogs not no link option... The page I'm trying to post already has meta tags with a the description and thumbnail so I want you to suck that content down. * So whatever I posted an 'image' with a link in the content. The link didn't actually turn into an * I clicked on some post and a video start…

Do you mind emailing me at j@jjcm.org? Can confirm the cancel button is indeed broken. I’ll refund you and cancel your sub asap.

Please don't take this criticism harshly: You say that you've been working on this for 4 years, but there's no content here. Have you not been using it yourself for 4 years? Where is the content that you and your friends have been posting?

I've been working on the code for 4 years. Only opened up posting to others today. Obviously have test posts, but I deleted many of them prior to this post.

Hum there's one commit end of 2022, a few end of 2021, 3 early 2021 and then the initial repository creation in 2018.

You haven't been working on it for 4 years, you started it 4 years ago, have made disconnected updates here and there since, and are releasing a pre-alpha to capitalize on the Reddit story.
